Python, in particular, will give you very flexible and easy ways to "save all open images to a folder using this name pattern". After exploring the possibilities interactively, you can put together what you found out works best in your workflow and create a script or plug-in to do that automatically. Otherwise, if you want to formalize these feature requests, open them properly at bugzilla.gnome.org - people will forget about them on the list. > Alec > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
